2018 NFL Punts of 50+ Yards Leaders

Gross punts of at least 50 yards from the line of scrimmage. It is the classic leg-strength count.

Distance without placement can mean a touchback, so read it with net average. In 2018, Andy Lee (49) led NFL punters in punts of 50+ yards, ahead of Michael Dickson (42) and Brett Kern (34). 36 punters qualify.
